All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

I'm dead serious. We have a mod and a key member of the LA Playa campaign using a defamatory and highly pompous term like "spending countless hours posting." Bedard for sure never alienates the scores of contributors who value their posts.
that's only because Bedard suggested giving zonebucks for actions that already result in ZB's. People with high post count are already rewarded with ZB's from their post and usually with reputation power as well.
Seems to me that Bedard is in favor of a Zone income gap- while that's a great way to empower people who contribute, it's also intimidating to potential new posters.

Fair enough. However I do give out ZB's to the winners of contests and stuff all the time.
I remember when I first started posting my only goal was to be more popular than Rob Johnson!
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.
After reading this thread, it's obvious... The Terrorists have already won!
who are you accusing of being terrorists? I see BF1 in here attacking people and accusing them of spinning, then you come in here and accuse people of being terrorists, or at least letting terrorists win? That seems like a baseless Rovian scare tactic.
I don't know- Bedard reached out to me (nice "all politics is local" touch- read "Hardball" by Chris Matthews) and I was leaning towards him for a while, but his statements and what his supporters are doing is a definite put-off.

Now, that's fair because it's something different, and in your contests, existing zoners and noobs have the same opportunity to win. But not all big contributors are as altruistic with their ZB's/rep so I don't really see how handing out additional quantities of the same reward will help the board.

I sent out at least 30 personal messages. Trying to be creative and pro me got tough after a while. But you know my deal Op. Its cool either way.

that Hardball thing was intended as a compliment- he tells a story about Tip O'Neil's first election where his next door neighbor that he had known for years didn't vote for him because he never directly asked her to. Reaching out to people instead of counting on their support is a good retail approach to politics.
And on second thought, it isn't fair to you to hold BMN's actions against you- every politician has crazy, overzealous supporters through no fault of their own.
But, I need to think long and hard about your platform and compare it to the other ones before making a final decision... at the moment though, I applaud your efforts but I'm not convinced.
He's a loose cannon with some of his comments- a sign of good leadership is an ability to control his underlings.... if you don't get him under control, well, I think the implication is clear.

BMN is a passionate guy, no doubt. Whether people like him as a poster or not he cares about the future of the Zone. Thats why he is on my staff.

Have you read some of DraftBoy's stuff?
Or better yet...have you read anything from NBF or Playa?
I didn't think so. How can they be a good president and vice president when they are never around.
Sorry Op. You know Bedard does so much for this site to make it better and did those things before this whole deal was started. That speaks volumes.
They are around plenty they just dont feel the need to run around posting "Hey im running" or threads of the like.
Besides you are gathering us plenty of supporters
Or not posting in the threads because they are to busy PMing anyone they can think of to vote. You might as well just change it to vote for Devin/DraftBoy now. Don't even waste the time giving Playa the credit.

If you have an issue with some of my posts why dont you just say author it all for us rather than jumping from thread to thread taking stabs at me. If you dont understand the intent of my posts or their purpose thats an entirely different matter all together. But please let us all know which way it is either here or you can even send me a PM if you wish.
COMING SOON...
